Chapter 603 There Are Shadows in the Sun
The weak waited for fate to dictate, and the strong took the initiative to take control of fate in their own hands.
Unfamiliar world, unfamiliar opponent, unfamiliar everything, the only thing not unfamiliar is my attitude.
The moment he walked into the Temple of Light, Gu Tianyou had already made up his mind not to follow the path that Ye He and Gina had pointed at. This was a world that seemed to be very different from the surface world, but in fact, it was not very different in essence. The law of the jungle applies here as well. Either you become a cannibal or you're eaten. That was why Gu Tianyou wanted to show his strength. He wanted everyone to understand that this daddy was not a herbivorous species that came to humbly ask for help, but a ferocious beast with sharp teeth and sharp claws that possessed a strong self-will.
Although Situ Tao did not yield to this will, he still showed enough respect. The cruelty and reality of Jianghu is fair to everyone. When you are strong enough, Jianghu will be gentle and inclusive. On the contrary, it would reveal an incomparably cruel and vicious side. If Gu Tianyou didn't want to see the boss who controlled the underground order, Situ Tao might have changed his face.
Every dog slaughterer in the streets of Jianghu was a villain. Whether he was a righteous dog slaughterer or a villain depended on the person he came into contact with.
At the last moment, Gu Tianyou showed a tolerant attitude and gave Situ Tao a large sum of gold coins. This allowed Situ Tao, who was originally not angry, to instantly regain his self-esteem and at the same time obtain tangible benefits. This made him inexplicably feel grateful for the rest of his life. I am also giving you money. As a lofty master, the money I reward you with is a far cry from the reward I beg you to pay for your work.
Now, he respectfully instructed Gu Tianyou that if he wanted to find someone, he had better go to the slave market to try his luck. Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "I'm new here and I don't know anything about it. Why don't you be a guide for me, Brother Situ?" This was not an inquiry, but a final decision.
Without the slightest hesitation, Situ Tao immediately nodded and said, "I deserve to be of service."
On the way to the 333 th floor, Gu Tianyou casually asked Situ Tao about the Temple of Light.
This place belonged to the Skyquaking Divine Kingdom in terms of law, but the specific power of management belonged to the Church of Light in the Great Western Federation. Outside the temple were the laws of the Skyquaking Divine Kingdom, but inside the temple were the rules and regulations of the Church of Light. The entire temple had a resident population of more than 100 million, and there were all sorts of races. The big families in the Great Western Continent Federation also sent representatives to stay here, and these families would often issue some bounty missions. As a result, many adventurers were attracted here, and many federations and unions were established.
The Great Western Commonwealth is used to organizing trade unions according to their occupations. Basically, it was similar to the legends of the Western Dark World that Gu Tianyou had heard when he was in the surface world. Mercenaries, hunters, priests, mages, and adepts all had their own organizations. Apart from that, there were also some warlocks and martial artists who had failed to gain a place in the Skyquaking Divine Kingdom who had also come here to earn a living. Situ Tao had been a Divine Kingdom Escort before.
How could there be no underground order builders in a building that could accommodate so many people? Not only were there underground gangs in the Temple of Light in Dragon City, there was also more than one. He didn't say which family Situ Tao belonged to, but he provided detailed information about the other families.
The so-called mafia was a group of parasites that lived in all walks of life in the temple. They relied on shameless and vicious acts to plunder wealth and resources from those who lived here legally and satisfy their own desires. Some of them paid attention to morality, while others did not use their limits. Within the Temple of Light, there were three major gangs. They were the Dragon Tiger Gate established by the Shennong tribesmen, the Cross Axe Gang established by a group of Aryans, and the Roma Gang established by the Bohemians.
The Aryan Cross Axe Gang controlled the slave market. They were close to the Church, and there were rumors that the High Priest of Light, Oklai, was their backstage boss. In the temple, the slave trade was a very lucrative business. Some special races were very valuable, and they were loved by the nobles of the Divine Kingdom in the city. For example, there was a type of black slave called the elephant tribe. Adult males possessed extraordinary talent and were highly sought after by the noble ladies in the city. A young, sturdy, and handsome elephant tribe male could fetch two hundred gold coins.
There were also the beauties of the Snake-People Race and the laborers of the Ox-Head Race. They were all slaves that the nobles of the Divine Kingdom liked.
Gu Tianyou smiled and asked, "What does the Dragon Tiger Sect do for a living?"
When Situ Tao delivered the goods, he said, "mainly in that imitation business, As long as it is something in circulation on the market, "Almost all of them can be imitated. Whether it is identity documents, daily necessities of clothing, food, shelter, or transportation, the famous brands of the Divine Kingdom and the Federation can be faked. The entire Temple of Light is small to the buttons of wine bottles and large to human aircraft. Within this Temple of Light, no one, including High Priest Okele, can leave the replica of the Dragon Tiger Gate."
Gu Tianyou looked at the simple ID card in his hand and shook it. "Then you should have a lot of money, right?" He smiled.
Situ Tao did not deny his relationship with the Dragon Tiger Sect, saying, "The Dragon Tiger Sect has more people, and money is never enough."
As he spoke, he arrived in front of the elevator that reached the 333 storeys. Gu Tianyou finally saw the true appearance of this nuclear-powered elevator. The entire elevator room was round and multi-storey. There were seats for standing and sitting. There were even boxes and drinks. Of course, all of them were for a fee. The interior space was enormous, and it wouldn't be a problem to visually estimate how many people could be transported at a time.
According to Situ Tao, the residents of the temple have permanent residence permits and are free to take the elevator if they pay a fee on a regular basis every year. There were four elevator passageways on each floor, and every hour there was an elevator, up and down from the Divine Kingdom.
Everyone followed Situ Tao into the elevator and paid one tael of silver per person, while the Firefox Demon paid five taels of silver for its pet.
Situ Tao said that the animals here only had two functions. One was food, and the other was pets. The Church of Light had stipulated that only animals with a certain level of intelligence could be kept as pets. For this reason, it had also specially listed a list of species. All animals that were not on the list were food. Raising pets was a luxury for the nobles. The management of the elevator was contracted to the Cross Axe Gang. These people stipulated that tickets for pets were five times more expensive than for humans.
Gu Tianyou noticed that a group of blonde young men and women surrounded two black-haired, yellow-skinned young men and women. As soon as they entered, they entered the box at the top. Situ Tao whispered that these Aryan youths were the descendants of the Mihawk Chamber of Commerce merchants, and the Shennong youths who accompanied them were the descendants of the seven nobles in the city. They were greedy for fun. As long as there were any high-grade and interesting slaves, there would definitely be their figures.
"As expected, the world is pitch black." Gu Tianyou asked again, "Are those boxes reserved for nobles?"
"Yes," Situ Tao said. He especially reminded, "These Shennong nobles have immunity from murder. As long as they don't kill nobles of the same level or higher, they can use this immunity to exonerate or lower their guilt. Their clan's talent is already very good, and they also have a lot of cultivation resources. Moreover, they often carry powerful magic treasures with them, so they are almost like gods in the eyes of the commoners."
Seedless prime minister, men as self-improvement. Gu Tianyou didn't feel particularly unbalanced. The ancestors of the nobles were not born nobles. From his observation, he could tell that Daoist Wild Crane was the least interested in this kind of noble disciple. Hearing Situ Tao's words, he let out a disdainful shout. Were the so-called nobles really very expensive? They could not carry the basket with their shoulders, could there be a single grain of rice in this world that they planted in their hands? It's just a swarm of rice worms.
This guy's indignant nature was getting more and more undisguised. Gu Tianyou felt that his words were a little short-spoken. Gina, a top noble from both clans, did not seem to mind his words. She only accompanied her smiling face and said something that only the people from your Jade Void Sect could say.
Gu Tianyou knew that the two of them weren't on the same side as him. Daoist Wild Crane wholeheartedly escaped from the Axis World, while Gina firmly placed her hand on Wild Crane's body. This little girl wasn't as innocent as she had shown. It was most likely an inside story to stick her hand on Daoist Wild Crane's body like this. The Seven Nobility Clans under Xuanyuan Sect were already unspeakably expensive. As a direct disciple of the Jade Void Sect that was slightly higher than Xuanyuan Sect, this Niunian's identity was probably not as simple as he had said.
Since they were new here, there were too few people they could trust, so they could only temporarily team up with them. They still needed to figure out the path as soon as possible, find their own brothers, and set up their own team. Regardless of whether it was in the surface world or the axis world, without strength, one would not have the right to speak.
The elevator stopped running and everyone flew out. Under Situ Tao's guidance, Gu Tianyou walked out of the elevator and went straight to an extremely spacious place. There were countless cabinets in the surroundings, somewhat similar to computers, but not completely the same. Above each cabinet was a virtual screen showing numbers and images. Situ Tao walked to a light screen, scanned it with his fingerprints, and typed in a few more instructions. Soon, the light screen image turned into a piece of information about the background of the slave's identity tonight.
"All the information about the slaves you are going to sell are here. You are looking for outsiders. If they do not fall into the hands of the officials, they will most likely end up here."
Almost all of these slaves were captured from the Terminator Forest. There were unruly and arrogant elves, as well as stupid and valiant barbarians. There were men and women, old and young. When Li Chen's typical Caucasian face appeared on the screen, Gu Tianyou couldn't help but be shocked.
Information: Very rare pocket-sized barbarians, proficient in fist techniques, had a level 8 ability when captured, strength is still growing, can not speak but can understand any instructions. More detailed data followed, including heartbeat, blood pressure, peak physical strength, and even the size of the thing.
How did Li Chen get here? Gu Tianyou vaguely remembered that Monk Yuankong did not throw him over. But now, he appeared here and was captured as a slave. It was obvious that there was only one possibility, and that was that he had taken the initiative to drill into the space-time passageway that had been opened after the void had been shattered.
This was a good man who dared to risk his life to practice the word loyalty and righteousness. As his master, he hadn't taught him anything amazing yet. He hadn't even put much thought into him.
Gu Tianyou signaled Situ Tao to stop. He looked at Li Chen quietly in the light screen image and slowly asked, "Where can I find this person?"
